Does anyone have some good pointers/instructions on how to do custom page layouts for books printed at Blurb from the Book module?  The stock page layouts while numerous are still limiting.  Thanks.

You can now create your own custom layouts. I have made a short video demo at this link:

I agree, this is what the book module needed for a long time.    I might actually try another Lightroom created book now as I gave up on the book module a long time ago.

Yes, thanks.  But if you have to create a new jpg for EVERY custom page, it's going to take forever to build a book.  Why can't Adobe offer user create page templates for the Book module?  Wouldn't that make a ton of sense???

Why can't Adobe offer user create page templates

I think they want you to subscribe to Adobe InDesign-CC.to design books.

The Book module was an add-in the version 4 (IIRC) as a feature to tempt more Lr users. It is not a 'Core' module in the Lightroom structure.

Maybe it will happen if more requests are made at- Lightroom Classic CC | Photoshop Family Customer Community

Can I suggest, in the mean-time, when you design a Custom page in the Print module for the JPG page- Save it as a Preset template, and do this for as many multiple page designs as you can think of. It then becomes easier to drop several photos into Print templates. The annoying step here is having to Import/synchronize the "Print to File..." jpg files.

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .
